Operation
CAUTION!
❐ Never hold the nozzles, the handle or the telescopic tube close to parts of your
body, hair or animals during use. They could become stuck to the device. Should
the vacuum cleaner become stuck, press the On/Off button immediately to switch
off the device.
❐ Switch on the vacuum cleaner only when you have checked that all the parts have
been properly attached, and that the dust container and the fi lters have been correctly
inserted and are completely dry.
❐ On no account should the device be used to suck up the following:
– Liquids or wet substances (e. g. wet carpet shampoo)
– Glowing ash, cigarette ends, matches, etc.
– Infl ammable or explosive substances
– Very fi ne dust (e. g. concrete dust), ash or toner
– Pointed, hard objects such as large shards of glass
❐ Note the MAX marking on the dust container. If the marking is reached during
use, empty the dust container before you carry on vacuum cleaning (see also the
"Cleaning" chapter, "Emptying the Dust Container" section).
The handle has an exhaust air valve with which you can quickly reduce the
suction force if necessary. Open the valve when cleaning curtains, rugs or other
light, mobile items. Otherwise you should keep the valve closed.
1. Pull the mains cable out as far as you require. Do not pull out the cable with force
up to its maximum length. It should not be pulled out further than the red mark. The
yellow mark indicates the optimum cable length.
2. Insert the mains plug into a properly installed mains socket that is easily accessible.
3. Press the On/Off button to switch the vacuum cleaner on. The vacuum cleaner can
be pulled along like a sledge during cleaning.
4. Adjust the suction strength with the aid of the suction strength control.
5. Guide the nozzle over the surface to be cleaned.
6. After cleaning, press the On/Off button to switch off the vacuum cleaner.
7. Remove the mains plug from the mains socket. Hold the mains cable fi rmly and
press the button to retract the mains cable. Holding the mains cable prevents any
"whiplash" effect of the cable, e. g. against your legs.
